This workshop will give you the
inside scoop on what gives a novel
best-selling potential. You’ll learn how to get readers emotionally involved in
your story, how to raise tension, control your pacing and keep your readers
turning the pages. But you won't just hear about some of the best secrets of the
trade; you'll learn how to apply them to give your own writing a sharp new
edge.
